Cleaner Than Usual (Pacifica 041214)

Tide times didn’t work out for Saturday morning in Capitola, plus it’s been really small, so we opted for an early LM surf instead. Arrived around 9am and…

Glassier (Pacifica 041114)

Up on the first alarm and down to the beach for a fast surf before Max’s 8:45am meeting. Conditions were good for LM. Low wind, glassy, small corners….

Return to the Chop (Pacifica 020114)

Didn’t drive down to Capitola today for the first Saturday in many weeks since it was going to be really small. Hello, Linda Mar. Looked so-so from land…

Tease (Pacifica 122713)

Ah, Linda Mar. Such a tease. Yesterday was a full-on fun sesh for me: slight offshore, got many good waves, not-too-hard paddleouts. Today was um, different: missed several…

A Few Rides on the Stoker V Machine (Pacifica 121313)

Made it through the week of work offsites (which were really fun) and happily found ourselves with time to surf. Freeze warning ended earlier this week too. Sunny…

Cold, Dark, Offshore (Pacifica 120613)

Needed a brain reset after too many days out of the water – both of us were sick before, during and after Thanksgiving break and occupied with work….

Fair WNW (Pacifica 102913)

There aren’t that many days that Surfline deems green or fair at LM, but today turned out to be one of them. This morning was supposed to be…

Classic October Day (Pacifica 101613)

Classic October Linda Mar today! Sunny, hot, clear blue skies and no wind. Clean conditions and offshore. We weren’t in a hurry today and enjoyed a leisurely wakeup,…

Crowd Surfing (Pacifica 090713)

Got up early at seven and got down to the beach. NW swell was arriving with 4-5′ size but not good shape. Waves were big on the north…

Choppy with Two Good Ones (Pacifica 090513)

Beach was practically empty this morning and only a handful of desperado surfers out. We paddled out near TB in small, choppy conditions with waves breaking on shore….

Crumbly (Pacifica 090113)

The word in the lineup yesterday was that the swell and period would increase a bit today but seems it diminished some, though it was pretty glassy. Small…

Saturday with More Swell (Pacifica 083113)

More size and even more fog than yesterday on a rising tide. Some bigger ones at the north end. More waves but more closeouts and crowds in the…

Mixed Swell (Pacifica 083013)

It’s been flat this past week and we’ve been sleepy, but after five days out, this was the morning to get back to the beach. The Bay Bridge…

Tiny (Pacifica 082513)

Lake-like with a lower tide but still some waves rolling through. Ran into Greg and Karen and Rick E. Unusually warm and without any wind. Watched Greg catch…

Short Rides and Dolphins (Pacifica 082213)

One of those days that it was mostly breaking too close to shore. Not many corners at all but more of a paddle, drop and turn and hop…

Then and Now (Pacifica 081713)

We switched our usual Saturday surf in Capitola to LM since SC has been flat the whole week. On the upside, so we got to sleep in until…
